CIQARETTE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 25, 1909.

Application filed February 3 1909. Serial No. 475,736.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS T. HUToHIN- soN, of the city of Newark,'inthe county of ing cigarettes and particularly to the igniting tip uponthe end of such cigarettes.

practical objection to the use of such a ti is that the fumes generatedthereby are lia le to permeate the tobacco.

In accordance with thepresent invention, the cigarette is provided withrecesses, holes or perforations in the tip itself and also just back ofthe tip in the paper of the cigarette if desired.

The invention will be more fully described in connection with theaccompanying drawing in which the figure is a view in perspective of thecigarette in which the improvements have been embodied.

As shown in the drawing, the igniting tip 9 isprovided with aperforation 0 near the center of the tip, which may or may not extendentirely through the same, and with perfora- One tions n just back ofthe tip in the paper of the cigarette, whereby the fumes formed by theburning of the tip may escape and may not therefore be liable topermeate the cigarette itself and to be drawn back into the mouth of thesmoker. These perforations may obviously be formed in different ways andmay be provided wholly in the tip or in the periphery of the cigarette,although it is preferable to.

form them both in the tip and in the periphery of the cigarette asillustrated.

I claim as my invention:

1. A cigarette having an ignition tip with a recess therein forthepurpose specified.

2. A cigarette having an ignition tip and perforations just back of thetip for the pur' pose specified.

3. A cigarette having an ignition strip extending completely over theend of the cigarette, perforations around the cigarette just back of thetip, and a perforation near the center of the tip.v
